Dave Compton Memorial Scholarship

As many of you are aware, Rookie48, Dave Compton, a long-time and active Brethren member, passed away on Dec. 19, 2020. Dave was a strong supporter of the Kansas City Barbeque Society and particularly the scholarship program, which provides awards to members’ children as they pursue higher education or advanced technical training. To honor that which was important to Dave, a memorial scholarship has been established through the KCBS Foundation.

Even though I never got to personally know Dave, I have come to know what an incredibly giving and Loving man he was. There were not too many efforts for others that he would not partake of and give 100% to help it succeed.
I know that having a Scholarship Fund named after you, and in your Honor is of high esteem, and I hope the Brethren will equally honor Dave's Memory by helping to grow this fund to help those who deserve it.

When Dave won election to the KCBS they stuck him with the good intentioned but very untangled committee that helped KCBS members children with college costs.
He as well as current BOD member Nancy Goldsmith, et al made great strides with increased funds and straightforward rules and application processes.
Dave was inducted into the Iowa BBQ Society as a Hall of Fame recipient and was a good of a BBQ ambassador as you'll ever find.
A scholarship in his honor is well deserved use of our monies!
It doesn't need a few huge sums of donation, just a lot of small donations.
